No training. This is not a traditional QE role. You do not need to know anything about SPC, controlled or uncontrolled processes, nor repeatability. You will be expected to know everything on Day #1. There is no work life balance, and turnover is very high. There is no standardization nor appreciation.

Advice to Management

Have purchasing and operations investigate why parts are not arriving to assembly. This is not a quality function. Also, every job is custom, so investigating 1-offs is extremely difficult. Train assemblers and make people feel valued, and employee turnover will not be high.

Exterran is a really good place to start out or develop an engineering career. There are plenty of opportunities to train and develop yourself. Upper management seems to be okay with pushing for training (but only when times are good).
(Used to have) Good benefits

Cons

Top heavy - upper management get all the protection and lower level people are screwed
No chance at career advancement - they always hire from the outside for top level management so forget about internal promotions (they are misinforming you if they say that you can climb the corporate ladder)

Advice to Management

Please learn to value the people who work for you - promote them instead of getting outside "experts"

Good Environment , family friendly, very flexible, amazing colleagues and there is opportunity for personal and professional growth. Even though the oil prices really affected the company , the company still strives to be one of the best in Engineering construction

Cons

Pays below most company, some department are bipartisan. Management needs to keep their promises. Management needs to be up to date with employees. Communication should be more effective

Focused on safety; spends money on developing employees, and has different career paths available.

Cons

If you've been with the company for some time your salary isn't increased accordingly to market conditions. Hires too many people outside of the industry which creates problems with "PROVEN" ideas not working out as planned.

Advice to Management

This review is a bit old but it seemed that they could increase merits based on market conditions. There are also too many managers and not enough workers. Could look at reducing overhead.
